COIN-MAILING- CARD.

Specication of Letters Patent.

Appllcationyled March 21, 1912. Serial No. 685,3'76.

To all whom it may concern;

Be 4it known 'that I, GUsTAv A. BACH- MANN, a citizen 'of the United States, and resident of Baltimore, Maryland,have invented cert-ain IImprovementsin Coin-Mailing Cards, of which the following is a speci` cation. i i y This invention relates to an improvement lin 'that .class of devices which are adapted for the transmission of coin by mail, and it consists in a peculiar construction of the device whereby4 there is. produced a pocket with an intercepting flap which admits of the entrance to thel ocket of one ormore coins, and prevents t eir removal except by rst rendering the device untfor 'subsef .quent use, as will hereinafter fully appear;

In' the further description of thesaid `invention whichfollows, reference is made to the accompanying drawing forming a part hereof, and in which:

Figure 1 is aperspectivev view of the mail- .ing card4 as it appears when stamped from stock and provided at certain places with a coating of an adhesive; and Fig. 2 a crosssect-ion of the device after lthe card is folded and its edges united by the adhesive.l Fig. 3 is an enlarged longitudinal section of the completed mailing card. i

Referring'l now to the drawing, 1 is a card which is bent -at a to produce the sections b and c. The lower section b is provided with the gummed or pasted surfaces d of limited width,to which the section c. adheres when the two sections are brought together and pressed thereby producing a receptacle. 'I o adapt this receptacle as a pocket to receive i and hold coin, and prevent theescape of the oo in from the pocket during transmission wlthin an envelop inthe mails, and the untime without practically destroying the device, the sectionJc is provided with a U shaped cutthe base'of which is on the bending l-ine a, whereby the slot f and the upturned Hap e' are produced. The fiap produced as described has a width which is yless than the width between the longitudinal pasted surfaces of thecard, and in the foldlng4 of the sections, the receptacleis provided with an enteringslot at its extreme -upper end,'and a loose flap which begins at the lower edge of the slot and ibyextending downward serves to prevent theremoval of acoin which has been forced past it. I

It will be Seen that a coin can be easily Vmade to pass over the lap which yields to pressure, but which due to the resilience of Patented maar, 1912.'

authorized!abstractionof the coin 'at any-1?- 'the' material, resumes its original position and presents a barrier to the removal of the com.

I claim as my invention:

' iA coin mailing device which consists of a rectangular card which is centrally bent to form two sections or parts of equal size, one section having its lateral and bottom edges provided. withl strips of adhesive material, and the other .section provided with -a U shaped cut the base of which is on the bending line, whereby a flap is produced, which is turned up so that in bringing the two sections together an entrance slot is formed at the upper end of the receptacle, and a deedge, substantially as spec'iiied.
